What I'm looking for

Seeking a dynamic environment where I can leverage my editorial expertise to drive content strategy and collaborate with innovative teams to create impactful, audience-focused content.

With over a decade of experience in editorial leadership, I have excelled in diverse industries including e-commerce, education, and media. My expertise lies in crafting engaging, branded content that resonates with target audiences, driving both growth and engagement. At BestReviews, I spearheaded significant editorial initiatives, including the development of a robust content calendar and the overhaul of social editing processes, resulting in enhanced content quality and alignment with brand objectives.

My professional journey includes managing cross-functional teams, designing efficient project management systems, and contributing to high-revenue content. I am passionate about fostering creativity and ensuring that all content meets the highest standards of quality and brand consistency. My ability to lead and collaborate has been instrumental in delivering successful campaigns and editorial processes across various platforms.

Beyond my editorial work, I am a Certified Sound Healing Professional and Reiki Practitioner, founder of The Amethyst Wave, where I help clients achieve well-being through holistic practices. This blend of professional and personal passions underscores my commitment to fostering growth and harmony in all aspects of life.
